What was proposed?

The proposal was to change Rangitikei District to Rangitīkei District for the local authority district that Rangitikei District Council administers.

Outcome

No change to the current official name

The Minister for Land Information rejected the proposal on 3 December 2024. The official name of the district remains Rangitikei District (official by The Local Government (Manawatu-Wanganui Region) Reorganisation Order 1989, New Zealand Gazette 13 June 1989, No. 99, page 2351).
